Carter was traded to New York from the Edmonton Oilers last March as part of the Rangers effort to avoid missing the playoffs for the sixth straight season. New York finished the season 32-36-10-4, five points out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Carter had one goal and four assists in 11 games with the Rangers. He had 25 goals and 30 assists with the Oilers before the trade.
